Definitions
- the subject invention relates to oscillators and particularly to oscillators producing square waves.
- this invention relates to a push-pull transistor oscillator for generating square waves.
- the prior art teaches many types of oscillators actuated by vacuum tubes and, more recently, by transistors. Some of these oscillators are connected in push-pull. Most of these oscillators include capacitive coupling of the opposite sides of the push-pull circuit to produce a switch action in the tube or transistor. When this switching action is as fast as the tube or transistor will allow, a substantially square wave is produced.
- Blocking oscillators are very well known in vacuum tubes where a transformer with a plate circuit winding and a grid circuit winding inductively couples the output of the tube to its control electrode in the form of positive feed back. This drives the tube alternately to cut off and to saturation, thereby producing square waves. Similar circuits have been tried with a transistor but they appear to produce square waves of uncertain characteristics.
- two transistors are coupled to a transformer in push-pull.
- the transformer has a center tapped primary winding across the outputs of the transistors and a center tapped tertiary winding connected across the inputs of the transistors to produce positive feed back voltage.
- a conventional output winding is also provided.
- the transformer must be designed to be saturable within the rated current of the collector of either transistor.
- Transister 10 has emitter electrode 12, collector electrode 14, and base electrode 16.
- Transistor 20 has emitter electrode 22, ccllectcr electrode 24, and base electrode 26.
- the transformer has a primary winding 32 center tapped at 33, a secondary output Winding 34, and a tertiary winding 36 having center tap 37.
- the base electrodes 16 and 26 are connected together, to the center tap 37 of the tertiary winding, and to the positive terminal of the source of potential 40.
- the collector electrodes 14 and 24 are connected to the opposing terminals of the pri inury winding 32.
- the emitters 12 and 22 are connected to the opposing terminals of the tertiary winding 36.
- the center tap 33 of the primary winding 32 is connected to the negative terminal of the source of potential 48.
- the source of potential 40 when initially connected across the circuit, will cause conduction through the transistors 10 and 20 and their associated circuitry. Since an absolute symmetry of the elements in these circuits would be almost physically impossible, one of the transistors conducts more than the other and consequently energizes its half of the primary winding to inductively feed back a voltage through the tertiary Winding 36 to its control emitter. This further increases the current through this transistor to further increase the voltage on its emitter which effectively short circuits the collector and base electrodes of this transistor instantaneously.
- the voltage applied by the tertiary winding to the control emitter of the opposite transistor drives it to cut-off.
- the firing of the first transistor produces a leading edge of a square wave of voltage across the output winding 34.
- the current through the shorted transistor builds up as fast as the impedance of its circuit constants will allow. This rate of current increase is primarily determined by the inductance and resistance of the transformer 30.
- the constant rate of increase in flux in the transformer core associated with the increase in current in this first half of the primary winding induces a constant voltage to form the top of the square wave across the secondary output coil 34.
- This cumulative process short circuits the second transistor and cuts oil the first transistor in the same way that the first transistor cut oil the second at the beginning of the cycle, so that the current steadily builds up through the second transistor half of the transformer.
- the oscillator is self starting when the load is only about /5 of its optimum rated value or lower, but when rated load is applied across the output some type of starting device is necessary to start oscillation. Starting may also be achieved by unbalancing the circuit with an asymmetrical winding in the primary or tertiary coil of the transformer or by inserting an unbalancing element such as a resistance in series with any of the elements in either side of the push-pull circuit. More than one resistance can be used as long as the initial or starting eil'ccts do not cancel. A single resistor of about ohms placed in the base circuit of one of the transistors would be a typical example of a starting circuit.

- the transformer windings and core materials are non malty chosen for a particular frequency with a certain voltage in mind. Once the circuit is completed the frequency can still be controlled to a certain extent by varying the voltage or the transformer characteristics.
- the transformer characteristics may be varied by changing the ratio of the windings, which would be equivalent to redesigning he transformer, or by applying a loud across the transformer which would reflect a different impedance bus' into the transformer.
- a load can obviously be applied across the output winding and this may be the actual load of the square wave oscillat r.
- the change in frequency between no load and the optimum load might be in the order of 10%. in view of this the normal load of the oscillator must be established before the oscillator frequency is determined.

3 Claims. (Cl. 250-36) (Granted under Title 35, U. S. Code (1952), see. 266) The invention described herein may be manufactured and used by or for the Government for governmental purposes, without the payment of any royalty thereon.
The subject invention relates to oscillators and particularly to oscillators producing square waves.
More particularly, this invention relates to a push-pull transistor oscillator for generating square waves.
The prior art teaches many types of oscillators actuated by vacuum tubes and, more recently, by transistors. Some of these oscillators are connected in push-pull. Most of these oscillators include capacitive coupling of the opposite sides of the push-pull circuit to produce a switch action in the tube or transistor. When this switching action is as fast as the tube or transistor will allow, a substantially square wave is produced.
Blocking oscillators are very well known in vacuum tubes where a transformer with a plate circuit winding and a grid circuit winding inductively couples the output of the tube to its control electrode in the form of positive feed back. This drives the tube alternately to cut off and to saturation, thereby producing square waves. Similar circuits have been tried with a transistor but they appear to produce square waves of uncertain characteristics.
In this invention two transistors are coupled to a transformer in push-pull. The transformer has a center tapped primary winding across the outputs of the transistors and a center tapped tertiary winding connected across the inputs of the transistors to produce positive feed back voltage. A conventional output winding is also provided. The transformer must be designed to be saturable within the rated current of the collector of either transistor.
It is therefore an object of this invention to provide an oscillator.
It is a further object of this invention to provide an oscillator producing square waves.
It is a further object of this invention to provide an oscillator requiring only a single transformer, a power supply, and two transistors.
It is a further object of this invention to provide a square Wave oscillator that is frequency stable over a Wide range.
it is a further object of this invention to provide an inductively coupled square wave oscillator having a lower frequency than that indicated by the LC constants of the circuit.
It is a further object of this invention to provide a transistor oscillator having a very high efiiciency.
Other and further objects of this invention will become apparent from the following specification and the drawing which illustrates the basic circuit as taught by the invention.
in the drawing transistors and are coupled to the transformer and source of potential 40. Transister 10 has emitter electrode 12, collector electrode 14, and base electrode 16. Transistor 20 has emitter electrode 22, ccllectcr electrode 24, and base electrode 26.
The transformer has a primary winding 32 center tapped at 33, a secondary output Winding 34, and a tertiary winding 36 having center tap 37. The base electrodes 16 and 26 are connected together, to the center tap 37 of the tertiary winding, and to the positive terminal of the source of potential 40. The collector electrodes 14 and 24 are connected to the opposing terminals of the pri inury winding 32. The emitters 12 and 22 are connected to the opposing terminals of the tertiary winding 36. The center tap 33 of the primary winding 32 is connected to the negative terminal of the source of potential 48.
in operation the source of potential 40 when initially connected across the circuit, will cause conduction through the transistors 10 and 20 and their associated circuitry. Since an absolute symmetry of the elements in these circuits would be almost physically impossible, one of the transistors conducts more than the other and consequently energizes its half of the primary winding to inductively feed back a voltage through the tertiary Winding 36 to its control emitter. This further increases the current through this transistor to further increase the voltage on its emitter which effectively short circuits the collector and base electrodes of this transistor instantaneously.
Simultaneously the voltage applied by the tertiary winding to the control emitter of the opposite transistor drives it to cut-off. The firing of the first transistor produces a leading edge of a square wave of voltage across the output winding 34. The current through the shorted transistor builds up as fast as the impedance of its circuit constants will allow. This rate of current increase is primarily determined by the inductance and resistance of the transformer 30. The constant rate of increase in flux in the transformer core associated with the increase in current in this first half of the primary winding induces a constant voltage to form the top of the square wave across the secondary output coil 34.
As soon as the saturation point of the transformer core is reached there can be no further constant rate of increase in flux and all voltages in the transformer return to zero. This drop in voltage has a corresponding decay in flux which acts as stored energy to induce voltages of the opposite polarity in the transformer windings. This reversal of voltage removes the cut-off bias from the emitter of the other transistor and drives it to the conducting region of the other transistor. This starts the collector current flowing through the second half of the primary winding which induces a positive feed back across the second half of the tertiary winding to further actuate the emitter of the other transistor. This cumulative process short circuits the second transistor and cuts oil the first transistor in the same way that the first transistor cut oil the second at the beginning of the cycle, so that the current steadily builds up through the second transistor half of the transformer. This induces the opposite polarity of the square wave cycle across the output and when the transformer reaches saturation due to the current ilowing in the reverse direction the voltages again drop to zero and the first transistor starts to conduct and the cycle starts to repeat itself.
The oscillator is self starting when the load is only about /5 of its optimum rated value or lower, but when rated load is applied across the output some type of starting device is necessary to start oscillation. Starting may also be achieved by unbalancing the circuit with an asymmetrical winding in the primary or tertiary coil of the transformer or by inserting an unbalancing element such as a resistance in series with any of the elements in either side of the push-pull circuit. More than one resistance can be used as long as the initial or starting eil'ccts do not cancel. A single resistor of about ohms placed in the base circuit of one of the transistors would be a typical example of a starting circuit.
The frequency of this oscillator is primarily dependent on the supply voltage, the number of primary winding turns of the transformer, and the magnetic characteristics of the core material of the transformer. The frequency of the oscillator is given by the formula V f ivasiiitgia in lines The transformer windings and core materials are non malty chosen for a particular frequency with a certain voltage in mind. Once the circuit is completed the frequency can still be controlled to a certain extent by varying the voltage or the transformer characteristics. The transformer characteristics may be varied by changing the ratio of the windings, which would be equivalent to redesigning he transformer, or by applying a loud across the transformer which would reflect a different impedance bus' into the transformer.
A load can obviously be applied across the output winding and this may be the actual load of the square wave oscillat r. The change in frequency between no load and the optimum load, might be in the order of 10%. in view of this the normal load of the oscillator must be established before the oscillator frequency is determined.
The control of the output frequency is about i095 between no loud and full output load across the output winding but as the load is increased beyond the rated load the frequency change becomes much greater. The overloaded oscillator becomes extremely frequency sensi live with the respect to loud variations and the oscillation is cut oil entirely as the load approaches a direct short circuit.
The load that may be applied to this circuit may be resistive. ind :tive. or capacitive within the limitations of overload defined. An additional limitation on inductive or capacitive load would be that when the load components reach a certain relationship to the inductive components the transformer an LC tank circuit may be set up that may dominate the load on the transistor and take over the oscillation.

A capacitive load would also be limited by the peak current that can he provided. by the output winding. Too high a capacity with respect to the frequency of the oscillations would amount to a short circuit.
in some instances this circuit may oscillate under different modes. For instance as the voltage of the source of potential is decreased the frequency is decreased and the wave form degenerat-es from a square wave to a trapezoidal wave with increasingly drooping wave tops and more and more rounding of its trailing edges until. when the voltage is only a few percent of its rated value, the oscillator breaks into higher frequency sine waves. These sine waves would presumably be at the natural frequency established by the LC constants of the circuit. As soon as the voltage is raised the oscillation breaks back into square waves.
This does not mean that square Waves cannot be realized at the low voltage. if low voltage operation is desired the transformer and other circuit elements would ill (lit
Iii
l be designed or chosen accordingly. The square waves are produced when the circuit is operating at any reasonable fraction of its optimum characteristics.
Other variations of the wave form intermediate between sine waves and rounded trailing-edge square waves may be achieved by varying other circuit constants. The starting device, as it affects the circuit constants, may dictate the mode of oscillation and otherwise influence the wave form since the starting device introduces a distortion i ate the circuit. With asymmetrical starting con nections the distortion would be asymmetrical.
Other variations to the wave form and other modes of oscillation will be established by the transformer characteristies which are primarily influenced by the core material. This follows since the wave form is established sad the operation is a result of the saturation of the transformer. The wave form consequently may resemble the saturation curve of the core material.
Other minor factors influencing the wave form include the transient response of the transformer and the resis tive and inductive constants of the circuit elements.
The device described in the foregoing application is not to be confused with a single sided blocking circuit connected in push-pull according to conventional practice. This circuit will not operate as taught with only one sided connection since the single polarity of current could drive the transformer to saturation in only one direction. There is no means in a. basic single sided connection for realizing the saturation in the opposite direction. This circuit will oscillate with only one side connected but the oscillation may be erratic and the wave form may be unreliable.
In a typical self-excited transistor oscillator constructed in accordance with the principles of the invention and as shown in the drawing the source of potential All is 4-5 volts and type X--78 transistors, made by the Transistor Products Incorporated, are used. The transistor primary winding 32 is about 504 turns of #30 heavy formex wire. center-tapped. The tertiary feed back winding 36 is between 20 and 100 turns of #28 heavy former wire. center-tapped, and the secondary is about 1500 turns of #36 heavy forrnex wire. The core is built of liil 'ifi laminations of niclcel iron alloy #49 in a V4 inch stats. It is of course to be understood that these values and components are intended by way of illustratian only and should not be regarded as limiting the practice of the invention to these parameters.
The ratios of the windings may be varied to increase or decrease feed back and inductive reaetzxncc of the transformer. The secondary winding is determined by the Output load impedance that will be used.
Other variations of circuit elements will be obvious to those skilled in the art. and other types of tran1istor connections such as common emitter or common collector could as easily be employed within the teach .s of lltll application and those of the art. Tie opposite polarity of voltage would be used where indicated by the transistor types or connections.
While there has been described what is at present considered to be the preferred embodiment of this invention. it will be obvious to those skilled in the art that v oils changes and modifications may be made therein wuncct departing from the invention, and it is. therefore. aimed in the appended claims to cover all such changes and nu; fications as fall Within the true spirit and scope of the invention.
